Electronic Payments Coalition Issues Statement on Approval of Interchange Fee Settlement

Today, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York approved a settlement in the long-running legal dispute between retailers, payment networks and nine major card issuers over interchange fees and rules.

The Electronic Payments Coalition issued the following statement:

 “The long political conflict over interchange fees is finally over, settled by a well-established legal process, which brought together retailers and the card industry for a negotiated resolution. After years of mediation, dozens of meetings, and millions of pages of evidence, the parties involved have willingly agreed to settle their dispute.

 “This settlement is in the best interest of all involved parties and that has been proven today with the court’s final approval.”
